Ilana Salama Ortar: Encapsulation

Ilana Salama Ortar: Encapsulation

In this installation of drawings, the artist speaks in the first person, assimilating memories of displacement and refugeeness, experiences of the present marked by mobility and a sense of fluid identity. Within these, the act of drawing entwined in the mundane is an anchor of stability. The accumulated body of drawings is a stock of vestiges and traces given to constant interpretation. Like a living archive, the installation presents processes of encryption and exposure and their ramifications for the continuation of creation, while everything is folded within the page and its folds.
